Surficial geology of the Scotian Slope, eastern Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sediment type on the upper 5 cmof seafloor has been mapped on the Scotian Slope using core samples, acoustic backscatter in sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry, observations from submersibles, and high-resolution acoustic profiles. The upper slope is underlain by overconsolidated till with iceberg pits and scours, overlain in water depths of <300mby mobile fine sand in the east and sand and gravel in the west. Muddy fine sand occurs on canyon heads and floors to water depths of about 1000 m. Mudstone outcrops on some canyon walls, with intervening terraces with mud and locally sand deposits. Intercanyon ridge crests <800 mbsl have surface-winnowed sand; similar sand occurs locally on ridge crests to depths of 1500 mbsl. Even low hills in deep water may have winnowed sandy mud at the seabed. The deeper continental slope is generally floored with bioturbated mud changing to foraminifer-rich mud beyond 3000 mbsl. These observations on sediment distribution are important for understanding biological habitat and assessing modern seafloor reworking by currents.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
